We stayed at Villa Afrikana on a tour of South Africa and were blown away. The hotel is immaculate, the service amazing, the food delicious and they even washed the car! We stayed in the Owner's Suite and were served breakfast on our balcony which had a fantastic view over the lagoon. Ross and Bianca's attention to detail was second to none.

We recently spent 5 nights at the Villa Afrikana and loved it there. The greeting was very warm, and as the days progressed we realised what delightful people Bianca and Ross are, as were all their staff. We stayed in the Matarolli Suite, which I believe is the only one without a balcony, which we would have preferred but it was the only one left when we booked. As we knew this before we arrived it was not a problem.The room had magnificent views and there was a nice seating area. There was also plenty of outside seating and a good shady area for breakfast which we chose to have downstairs rather than in our room. The beds were very comfortable, the bathroom spacious. The attention to detail was excellent, we arrived in a rather dirty car after our journey along a dirt track, Bianca arranged to have it cleaned for us, Ross was always interested in our plans for the day and would help when possible. It was a great stay and we are looking forward to returning next year.

We stayed for 3 nights how www wish it could have been more, Ross & Bianca were the perfect hosts, nothing was to much trouble. The staff were so friendly and always had a smile, and the service was outstanding. Breakfast served on our balcony was like a work of art carefully arranged and everything fresh and well presented. Breakfast is normally served from 8am, one morning we were playing Golf at Pezula (Fantastic) so we wanted an early breakfast, no problem "What time would suit you" was the reply. If ever we visit SA again Villa Afrikana is an absolutely must.

There is very little to add to what all of the previous contributors have said - but i have to add just a couple of things.

Firstly, Bianca & Ross have a real eye for detail and everything at the Villa is perfectly faultless and is run with crisp precision. (Thank you Bianca for your help on our itinerary deviation to Capetown - it worked brilliantly)And secondly a big thank you to all of the staff at Villa Afrikana who are wonderful, especially Tracey who kept our glasses topped up and made sure we had everything we needed.

Villa Afrikana is simply the best !!!

Room Tip: The view from the Noetzie Suite is simply stunning!

We stayed here for 3 nights ahead of our trip up the Garden Route to Pumba Game Reserve. Stunning rooms, very attentive service, lovely breakfasts and great views. All brought together by two personable and friendly hosts. A pleasure to stay!

We always stay in "Five Stars" hotel and Villa Afrikana vill be one of our best small hotel we have stayed in. Excellent located with a very nice view over the bay. Room very light and clean and we had the breakfast on the balcony. The breakfast was brought up to us on top floor by very nice staff. One evening we had a light dinner att Villa Afrikana that I can recommend. If you eat at the waterfront we had problems to find any restaurant that suit us, too manny tourist. If you like good food and a relaxed dinning experience I will recommend the Zinzi restaurant. Extremely good value for the money. It is located 20km from Knysna.

We enjoyed every second of our experience at villa afrikana, we only stayed for two nights, but wish we stayed longer. The rooms are beautiful, light and airy, the views of the lagoon is stunning, waking up to that view was a pleasure. Breakfast was lovely and brought up to our suite to enjoy on the balcony. The staff are helpful and friendly and Ross and Bianca are fantastic hosts.
